I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

I am totally disgusted with myself lately. I have leaped right off the back of the diet wagon. I just cannot get back into the swing of things. I used to be a WW lifetime member, and I am now 14 pounds over my goal weight, and a whopping 20 pounds over my lowest weight ever. I'm just so disappointed in myself I could cry. Not a single pair of my summer pants has fit me for the past two years. I just wear dresses and skirts! I don't even know what to do anymore. I'm thinking of going back to WW tomorrow, b/c I know they have a meeting in East Islip at 5pm, but I'm so embarrassed at how little willpower I've had.

I'm not the only one, right?

I'm right there with you!!!

If you're motivated def go back to WW, you'll feel so much better about yourself in no time.. Don't feel embarassed, everyone's guilty of low will power at some point, no matter how good they are with dieting.

As for me, well there's just no hope! lol

No, Heather you're not alone. I re-joined WW 3 weeks ago and I'm so glad I did. I had lost 25 pounds before the wedding & I gained it all back! I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin that I had to go back. I'm so happy I did.

The biggest part is just going for the first time.

How can you not want to go when you can buy this little guy?? He hangs out on my fridge!

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

no you're not alone! I live in my sweatpants because my old jeans/pants don't fit. I have zero motivation to eat healthy or go to the gym. I am extremely disappointed in myself.

What in the hell is that creature?

I have a very sad stack of size 6 pants in my closet. Right now I am barely fitting into the 8's, and I refuse to buy 10's.

That's the WW Hungry Monster that's in their new ad campaign. The Commercial's are very funny.

Ugg I just dug out my lifetime book, and I know I'm at least 10 pounds over the weight that I was when I went back the last time... so depressing!

Do you stay for the meetings? I always just weighed & left.

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

I hear ya. I apparently gained 20 lbs since my wedding. So, I'm currently liquid dieting myself to death. I've been on WW 3 times and every time I have gained the weight back. I think my body just likes being fat.

Amen. I wish I liked my body being fat, b/c that seems to be what it wants to do. Damn Italian genes.

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

Yep I have to or else I suuuuck for the entire week. A sub leader made it so simple 2 weeks ago....if you follow the simple rules of the program, the program is going to work.

I find for me, the meeting motivates me and keeps me in the zone for the upcoming week.

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

I gotta go tomorrow. I'm going on a cruise in a month and I refuse to go looking like this.

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

I can relate.

I gained 20 lbs since the wedding, lost five and then gained them back.

but now i have been back on the wagon about two weeks and I lost those stupid 5lbs again and hope to keep going.

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

I am right there with you Heather. Since the wedding, I've gained about 12 pounds. I'm going to a wedding in Jamaica in exactly one month and I need motivation to lose at least 6 pounds before the wedding. I need some major help!!!

Last week, I took my first class at the gym and last night I took another one. I plan on going to at least two more classes this week. I am motivated to be at the gym at least 3-4 times a week. DH can take care of his own dinner

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

I am the same way, but the problem with me is, if I don't have the willpower to get it done, then it wont get done and I am just setting myself up for failure.

I think that you need to dig deep down inside and really put yourself into 'get it done' mode.

If you find that you really don't have the willpower just yet, take small steps. Maybe only go for a walk around the block once.

Then I think once you start to get into that mode, you will want to do more..and hopefully then you can start losing the weight.

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

Ugh FM me if you need to vent. From the wedding to our one year anniversary i had gained about 8 lbs. Bad but for a year not too horrible in the past month I gained 9 lbs. W T F !!!!!!! I started WW again. I dont even feel like getting dressed up that's how disgusting I feel. WHY wasn't I born naturally skinny? This is so not fair

Re: I know there have to be some ppl who identify with me here...

I know where you are coming from!!! When I was looking though pictures to get for the video, I was so upset with myself. Weight has ALWAYS been an issue with me, and for the video, there are no pictures of me between the ages of 10 and 19 for the simple reason that I was sooo fat!

When I met DH I was very motivated, I had lost about 50 pounds at that point and was very strict with the dieting and pilates. The lowest I had ever been while working out and dieting was 136 pounds back in 2004! And I was so happy with myself, I was a toned 136 pounds.

Eventhough I had went up about 5 pounds and wasnt toned for the wedding, I was still okay with myself.

Pants I wore around the time of the wedding, which were falling off of me, BARELY fit. I dont even want to drag out the summer clothes yet.

Worst part is that I am in a wedding in July in PR (i'm the MOH). She brought me the dress that I ordered in July (only about a month or so after the wedding), and it doesnt fit AT ALL! Its horrible. I look like a sausage. I refuse to order another dress. So I have to get in shape!

And i feel like I have the weirdest body. I am so tiny on top, an A cup, can fit in medium tops just fine, BUT once you get to the hips, its like OKAY and on 10 sizes!

The gym I belong to is starting a new training program and its only 30 a session for 90 minutes. So i'm thinking of sucking up the money and doing it twice a week. I really need to get back into things.

You are so not alone!
